Sword of the Philosopher

"... now the continent will no longer collapse. Good."

I predict the demon king is gone, and I speak.

"Garc, did the magic completely seal you in?

'Um, it doesn't happen that magic is activated accidentally, etc. But there is still demonic magic in the underground. It will take a long time to get rid of everything'

"You're going to have a problem..."

'Depending on the location, crops and such may be affected. Let's promise not to affect human behavior.'

"Thank you Garc. Well..."

I look and think where the Demon King stood.

The magic never activated. The demon king is strengthened as a result of the magic that was originally activated, but it doesn't... but the presence of me and the gathering of divine spirits make me think of something.

"Be as ready as you can be... sounds like you should be"

Find out what the demon king will do while creating the sword...... it is desirable to have a clear idea of what kind of hand he will strike.

Oldia raised her voice during those thoughts.

"Leon, by defeating Nostor, I also had the power of a wise man... I mean, he said he qualified to take on the Demon King"

"Oh, but I'd like to talk to you about how to fight the Demon King during his showdown."

"Consultation? With whom?

"He who dwelled on the power of other wise men… I think that discussion will follow the battle of the South"

I turn my gaze to Gark.

"Looks like we're still fighting, so we're heading south now"

"Ok...... we decided to find out if there was any impact with the demon king's magic trying to activate"

"How long will it take?

'Cause we need to scrutinize the situation across the continent... the battle in the south will be handled in a few days with the addition of Lord Luon. It's hard to end in the meantime. "

"Okay. Garc and the others, please."

After I mention it, I turn my neck again to Oldia.

"I'll make a quick trip to the south first. Oldia, come back later."

"... with its power, you mean suppress the enemies of the South"

"Oh. If we could just clean up there, we'd just leave a showdown with the Demon King after that"

Taking into account the circumstances in which I could not fight together, the human side's power was sufficient. But the less sacrifice due to battle, the better.

"We'll look around the continent with the Spirit."

Says Feus. Then Azua moved out - the gods left this place.

"Well."

When I whine one thing, I gently turn my shoulders.

"Let's go... to Sophia and the others"

With the words - I started traveling by magic.

As we head to the battlefield in the south, the movement of the Demon King's Army becomes harsh. The effect of the demon king's retreat to his castle... Since the demon king's army side is on top about the quantity, it may be the prospect of crushing the human side with a force push.

But the knights are stopping it, starting with Canaan. It forms a defensive line and ensures it prevents marching. Further, there is still force left behind, starting with Sofia, and some leeway. Here, if I join you, I can crush the army for sure.

Here's what I think… the demons who remained in the West moved out, and the fact that the Demon King acted fast. Those were unplanned things to make for the human side, but they all broke through. All that remains is to destroy the demons pushing from the south. After that we leave a showdown with the Demon King...... an atmosphere where the story is about to come to an end at last.

However, I still have to start creating swords… I get more reports from the demons who use them while giving them a head start on the future.

The elite of the kingdom of Alastin, including General Boslo, as well as the face to be described as the guerrilla knights of the Balzads, are at the forefront against the demons. Canaan is behind it and works with the front line. And Phillies, the adventurers, are not in the fight yet either. Is it something like a reservist or something?

However, because the demons are outnumbered in quantity, it is also difficult to push them back like this. Therefore, Sophia and Philip are also likely to be on the battlefield... using fast moving magic can take time because of the distance. I don't know, but it doesn't start in a hurry.

"- Hmm?"

At that time, another user demon gave me a report. My direction of progress...... a bunch of demons are pushing south. I thought it was a new enemy only at first. That was, apparently, the demon that Richard serves.

"... did you make the move at this time? I think we should meet."

At the current speed, the atmosphere is likely to catch up... As I approached the user demon to receive information on the place, I found Richard riding on the back of the demon that made him look like a dragon.

"Hey!"

Calling on him, the opponent turned his gaze - surprised.

"Mr. Luon!?"

"That's an odd encounter! That way, too, south?

Asked as he magically concurred, Richard nodded instantly.

"I've been using demon moves to find out... but honestly, I didn't think he was capable of being so impotent."

They know a lot about my battle.

"Sooner or later about the stories around... So, is this okay?

I look down. On earth, a bunch of demons blast through the streets.

"Am I to be mistaken for an enemy?

"I'll make sure it doesn't happen. Set up an assault aimed at the soldier's thin spot and explain it to his allies after him."

"Well... I'll help explain the situation."

"I'm sorry...... but that's a very complicated situation. Thanks to you, I'm late for a response."

"Complex?"

When questioned, Richard replies with a difficult face.

"I've been involved in this battle over and over again, but I've never seen anything like it."

"Is that a story about a lot of demons?

"No, it's not. There's a lot of power on the human side, and we can fight more than each other."

... it still seems to have a lot of impact when I explained the situation to Canaan.

"And yet, when I heard rumors of demons pushing in from the west, I chilled my liver. I didn't think Mr. Leon would defeat that. Because there were no other knights or soldiers, were we talking?

"I have a conversation with King Canaan, the general of the coalition,"

"I see. So, you want to talk about Mr. Leon after the fight?

"Oh. Richard deserves to hear it too"

"That would have been nice. If you can't tell me what's going on, I'll kill you alive."

I laugh - watching the demons flock.

The numbers are considerable and we can see the fruits of Richard's efforts. However, given the number of demon kings, it may be difficult to dictate the battlefield. You're just stopping some of the marches on the battlefield, you know?

However, since this is a situation where we are currently fighting more than just one another, it could be an opportunity for the human side to change the battlefield.

"Mr. Luon, how does it work?

With that word, Richard laughs bitterly.

"Rather, you may not need me."

"No, the more power there is to make less sacrifice, the better. I can't imitate one magic that instantly wipes out the demons."

"Well... if you can tell us what's going on, we need to make sure we survive."

Richard says...... the southern invasion is the biggest obstacle to him, a battle that should only have unpleasant memories. But now he has a bright face. Though there have been a series of unplanned events, I suppose you think the Bureau of War itself is not bad.

"Oh. Please, Mr. Richard."

"Leave it to me."

While we had those exchanges - I rushed with him to the battlefield.
